It occurred to me that each custom menu is a block. So, one could write xhtml code to create a menu of their own, by creating a new block. I'm not sure how to tell a block not to print/display it's title. Interesting idea though.
Makes me think of the main Navigation menu. Can one change the title to Main menu instead of it displaying your username?

hmmm that's an interesting idea. I may do that until I can rewrite the menu mod to allow me to go to outside sites (or upgrade to 4.7). My conserns are 1) can't get it in nice menus that way. 2) will I be able to style just one block different than the others? (ie how do I make it so that the Title of the block, and *only* this block, isn't printed?)

It's not a direct solution, but you can pull the content of any block into any place. Create a block of your chosen name, then call up with php the content of the navigation menu block. That's the general approach I used on the BlogHer.org navigation block (called "shortcuts" there).
The answers are in the php snippets area of the handbook.

My hack ended up being a better solution because it allows my content developers to still use the menu interface to create their menus. I'm afraid they may get confused at using "blocks" for *some* menus but "menus" for others
